INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
PRIME BANCORP, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition
of Prime Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the year then ended. We have also audited the accompanying consolidated
statement of financial condition of Prime Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period then ended, prior to their restatement for the 1996 pooling-of-interests
transaction described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of First
Sterling Bancorp, Inc. included in the 1995 and 1994 restated consolidated
financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report dated February
23, 1996, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The report of
the other auditors has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for First Sterling Bancorp, Inc., is based
solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors,
the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Prime Bancorp, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We also audited the combination of the accompanying consolidated statement
of financial condition as of December 31, 1995 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, after restatement for the 1996
pooling-of-interests; in our opinion, such statements have been properly
combined on the basis described in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated
financial statements.
